Pretty bad spanish dubbing. It romanticizes slavery, Uncle Remus in one part says 'what good will this useless black man be to you' but it does not agree with the construction of the character, unlike a previous scene where he gets sad because he feels that he is only good for telling stories. So it is not a superficial controversy, it IS RACIST. We have to destroy the movie then? I don't think so, it's useful to know how racist Disney was and how white people see as something 'not important' a clear unreality of how it was, and in many cases still is, the social distinction due to ethnophobia, colorism and racism.
I saw it in a community movie theater in Ecuador yesterday, the majority of the audience were white people, and those who spoke on the forum said that they loved it and it really taught values, 'not like current productions', u know the typical 'everything was better before' thing. Although the film is quite euphemized even for the time when more explicit violence and discrimination was shown for all ages content, it seemed absurd to me that other things were very clear, like black characters calling white people 'master' like they were minions, and with that alone, people would have to know that it is not something perfect as they were excited explaining, undervaluing the racial issue. Social problems are important, they do not have to be pushed aside. Yes, the songs are catchy, the animated story lessons are clever, and there are funny moments, but that doesn't make it a gem. The cinema presenter explained us that the rabbit was created to represent black population being clever to get out of the white people's traps, like the thorns scene, referring to the fact that he grew up in a difficult neighborhood, so it is strange that the protagonist who receives these teachings of cunning for survival is a privileged white child. Disturbing but not surprising that many white people identify with that ._.
Another issue that made me uncomfortable was the treatment of the real toad and the dog. The first animal showed pain when held and squeezed, the second seemed drugged or very sick, which is why real animals don't have to be used for live action films, unless are recordings from a distance of that animal in their own habitat, not exposing them to make the production. I wouldn't have been surprised if they died on screen knowing that even now other species are not always taken care of in productions, starting from the fact that training them like robots for something they don't want because they don't even understand, it's not work, it's exploitation.
This would be great if it hasn't nonsense child hypersexualization. :neutral_face:
It is not necessarily bad to show taboo subjects, that's why the extreme challenges that minors should not go through are less serious than scenes that are born to entertain: the gore at least has something to do with the story, and is implied that is not desirable, they suffer. In hypersexualization, they act like is normal for their age. The mini joke that Prushka says when Riko asks why the doors are closed in the night on her house could be fine, we don't see disgusting scenes and is something real to a 12 y/o child. The rest of the 'jokes' are not okay.
I didn't understand why the events happened so quickly and without emotion according to the personalities of the characters that were built for us throughout the first season. This should be an entire season, right? So, it seems very simple to me that someone random is the reason for Riko to get her white whistle. Btw, now I think her mother's whistle is her other parent, wich is strange because she have it like a symbol of her mother but actually that's other person 'soul'...
It was going great, until the pedophilia which was worse than the last chapters; a shame in an episode that could have been very nice :rolling_eyes:
Not grate laughing at a pedophile, worse when is the prota who wants to be friendly with him.
It stopped being so boring when they left the main stage... I don't know how to make that directing decision.
Disgusting saying to your littler brother that is a perv. Also he he mocked about his social anxiety... romanticizing a bad sibling relationship.
Once again we aren't the protagonists.
Good points for not putting 0:
*The technical part is good
Negative points (from my perspective as a disabled person):
DISINFORMATION
*They never specify that the pathologizing reaction of health professionals, and the dramatic reaction of the family, is harmful; they could take the opportunity to explain this happens to many families due to the outdated information about the diverse types of neurodevelopment that exist, the one shown here is only that, one more to the list, neither better nor worse.
*The bad perspective from this neurotype continues: "is a disease", "it has levels", "intellectual disability in all cases"
*Refers to people with Down syndrome as "special", "in their world", "they unite the family" (that family was already united, he is not glue, he's a human and as in any relationship, they can get separated like any other family), "adorable", "infant even though many years have passed"...
*Apart from that, this web have literally the background image of a cultural appropriation scene; the clothing of indigenous peoples is not a carnival costume.
.
The same old DISABLISM.
